Default ID'ing common sprouts--probably a tree

The lower leaves look like cotyledons. There will be a sycamore in the
vicinity though the leaf is a little different. They will not survive a
mowing but those in borders need to be pulled soon before their tap root
makes this difficult.
Best Wishes.

Out of curiosity thought I'd post this question.

We are seeing lots of these all over the lawns, backyards, side,
behind the garage. I'm guessing it is a tree since it is so well
spread. Does anyone recognize it?

The camera color is accurate. It has a reddish tinge in the leaves.
