Default ID'ing common sprouts--probably a tree

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.



Definitely a maple of some variety. Many species reseed easily and will
sprout with abandon. Got any mature maples in the vicinity? These are most
likely its offspring.
