Ok, any idea on these 3 types of wood? Thinking Birch in the middle but have no idea on the leafy bark at the right??

Left is Silver Maple, Right is birch. I don't know about the middle log.

Soft Maple, Black Birch, Paper Birch.

Maple, birch, birch

I'm guessing yellow birch on far right, final answer

That is also a possibility.

The one on the far right is River Birch.

I see Silver (or maybe Red) maple, Cherry (maybe an edible cherry), and River Birch.The River Birch (right) seems like a sure bet. THe maple (left) is a pretty sure thing too, and the difference between Red and Silver maples, from a firewood perspective, is not important. The middle one looks to me like cherry, not Black Cherry but rather an edible cherry. Edible cherry commonly grows in the wild, especially near homes and farms where cherries have been planted and birds have spread the seeds. The middle one could also be Black Birch in which case you should smell a distinct wintergreen aroma from the bark.

Far right is aka paper bark birch (ornamental tree).
Middle is black birch-great firewood.
Left- Not enough information for me to ID.

small one looks like grape vine

Middle could be black birch.....but my guess would be an ornamental cherry or wild cherry have both on my property they look exactly like that.

The middle one looks like sour cherry to me. The second pic looks like cedar.

The new pics look Red Cedar, or maybe the trunk of an Arbor Vitae. The wood should have a strong cedar smell to it and should be reddish or purplish if it is Red Cedar. In general you'l get more attention to your new pics if you make a new post. I think a lot of guys read a post, maybe comment, then don't read it again.

I agree with wood duck on all four. That last pic you posted definitely looks like a arborvitae or ornamental cedar.

That middle one could be Pin Cherry.....
