Jeff - Here's an online resource worth checking out!

http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/forestry/...treesindex.htm

Trees of Ohio, and the links for each species show a close up of buds
and bark as well as leaves. Maybe you can print out that whole list to
take with you

Some of the species worth doing bonsai with on that list, from my
experience, a
European Black Alder (Alnus glutinosa)
Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis)
Baldcypress (Taxodium distichum)
American Beech (Fagus grandifolia)
Blue Beech aka American Hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana)
Blackhaw (Viburnum prunifolium)
Common Buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica)
Burning Bush (Euonymus alatus)
Black Chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa)
American Crabapple (Malus coronaria)
Hackberry (Celtis occidentalis)
Hawthorn (Crataegus species)
Eastern Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis)
Amur Honeysuckle (Lonicera maackii)
American Hophornbeam (Ostrya virginiana)
Red Maple (Acer rubrum)
Virginia Pine (Pinus virginiana)
American Plum (Prunus americana)
Thicket Serviceberry (Amelanchier canadensis)

Other list-friends may want to add to the above.

My personal favorites, which you might want to be sure you can
recognize, are Hornbean, blackhaw (*super* bark texture, even when
young, responds well to root and top pruning, great fall color;
branching pattern tends to be rather stiff and perpendicular, Burning
Bush (dig a great *trunk* and grow out), crabapple and serviceberry.
