Cherry's time is past, crabapple's time has arrived
The cherries all are past their peak, but the crabapples are just coming into theirs. The 3 crabapples on 14th Street near Hutton are in full flower. The crabapples near my office are not all flowering, but there are more flowers than closed buds.

The Callery pear are blooming enthusiastically
Plenty of leaves on these Japanese maples

Today's tree developments
In addition to the new green catkins, the birch have little green leaves.

The red maples have little leaves above the samaras.
A few of the flower buds on the crabapples near my office have opened, but most are closed.

Spring is popping out all over
Every time I turn around, more leaves and flowers have come out.
Sunday, driving on 87, I saw aspen trees that looked green, the same small, light green that was showing on the Norway maples. On the Norway maples, it was a combination of flowers and baby leaves. I don't know what it was on the aspens.
Sunday evening when I went to campus, the serviceberry, Callery pear, and magnolias were in full bloom.
Monday morning when I got to campus, there were leaves on the sugar maple between Lally and Sage. I was like, "Wasn't that tree bare?"
Monday on lunch hour, there were azaleas blooming.
Monday when I walked home from work at 5pm, I smelled the flowering Miss Kim lilacs, and I was like, "Were those blooming this morning?"
Monday I saw fully formed Norway maple leaves, not the baby ones.

Tuesday, today, the crabapple near 14th and Hutton was in full flower, but the crabapples near my office were not yet flowering.

Most of the trees look green now. Crabapple were the first leaves to arrive, then Norway maple and ash leaf maple, but now we also have leaves on horsechestnut, cottonwood, Callery pear, serviceberry, hawthorn, Japanese maple, and Japanese tree lilac. The Japanese tree lilacs on the north side of the field have flowers too, but the ones on the south side that get less sun because they are against the building do not have flowers. There are baby leaves on linden, elm, ash, and oak.

The sugar maples vary. While the one between Lally and Sage was leafy on Sunday, others are not yet leafy. There are three sugar maples along the north side of the alumni house. The one farthest east looks decidedly leafy, though the leaves are still on the small side. The two to the west, and also one just around the corner from them on the west side look primarily bare, with just a bit of something opening up. The one on the west side that is farther south is farther along.

From a distance the silver maple is green so you think it's baby leaves, but it's actually samaras. Red maple is also mainly samaras, with the beginning of baby leaves.
May 5, 2015: I have been acquainted with this tree near 14th and Eagle for several years, but I haven't pinpointed the species. I think it is some sort of red maple cultivar.
Dogwood and ailanthus have just the beginnings of leaves.
The sycamore east of Sage looks bare, but the sycamores between Lally and VCC have baby leaves.
The locusts look mostly bare. Some have just the beginning of leaves, while others don't.
Birch trees have fresh green catkins.
Some weeping cherries have already lost their flowers.

Many of the regular lilacs, especially the one by the east end of Sage, have leaves and big purple buds, but the flowers have not opened yet. There are some open lilac flowers on the south side of Amos Eaton.
