Hi all,
I'd like to get your help in identifying a tree.
They've been flowering here in southern Michigan for about the last week or two. Photos below show some of the flowers, leaves, bark, "thorns" and the form/size of the trees. Please let me know your thoughts.

Likely a hawthorn tree.
Also agree with hawthorn, but thought maybe honey locust.
The bark, blooms, and tree size & shape closely resembles our Wild Plum and yes it does have thorns.
Thanks!
Definitely not honey locust, my first guess is Plum also, mine were in bloom about three or so weeks ago so that would likely put you blooming now.
