After using the Leaf Tree ID key, I discovered that the tree outside of McCormick residence hall is most likely a Basswood Tilia Americana. The branches are thin and round. Currently there are not really any leaves as one can see on the tree, but there is the slight formation of buds.

[] Here is the link for a picture of a seagull, which is highly popular in Milwaukee. Due to them flying so high in the air, I was not able to snap a picture, so here is one instead from the internet I found.

There really were not any leaves around the tree, seeing as the tree has not grown leaves quite yet.

Earth Day was initiated in 1962 when people became increasingly upset that so much fossil fuels were being exhausted into the environment. Also, Earth Day was established to start giving back to the environment what people were taking it due to the industrial revolution requiring much of the earths nutrients 30 years before. []
