By the way, someone said it might be some type of dogwood.

Chokecherry (Prunus virginiana).

Thanks for the help. That's an interesting tree, i.e one I've read about recently. And I had some jelly, made in Colorado, featuring the fruit.

I also meant to point out that it has some weird insects on it. They look like scale bugs of some kind. Rather large - up to about 1/3" - sort of snowy white (but dark too), and dome-shaped, stuck to the tree twigs. I'm not sure if they can do damage on a large scale.

Could be a Canada Flowering Cherry.

Chokecherries usually have flower clusters in a drupe. Many blossoms in a long cluster. All cherry trees are susceptible to scale. My Nanking Cherries had them bad 2 years ago and I cut them to the ground. If you catch them in time you can treat with dormant oil. Once they attach regular insecticides don't penetrate so you have to smother. Your local Extension office should be able to id especailly if you can take in a flowering cluster of flowers and some of the scale.
