Flowering Shadbush (Amelanchier arborea) in May at Ahern State Park in New Hampshire

At trailside is Flowering Shadbush (Amelanchier arborea), also known as Downy Serviceberry.
 
There is some species uncertainty here. The Shrub Identification Book by George Symonds says:
"This is a large and confusing genus; there is considerable difference of opinion concerning the various species."
