I'm trying to figure out what we've got in our back yard. I have been
through countless "tree identification" websites looking and have not
been able to find a match for this.

We live in Kansas City, MO. It does not bear fruit or nuts. It does
not have showy blooms, just really pale yellow-green buds in early
spring before it leafs out.
Can anyone here tell me what this is?

Thanks. I don't know why it is failing. Some people can see the page,
some can't. I will change some settings and see if that clears it up.

It resembles Acer negundo, Boxelder.

That was my thought as well. Box elder trees are dioecious, which
would explain the lack of fruit; you have a male tree.
