This little plants started growing in my dad‘s mulch beds this year, there are five of them and so far maybe 8 inches tall. I have looked and looked and I can’t identify it. Can you give it a shot?

I think this looks like maybe a small black walnut seedling or maybe a hickory.  It is hard to tell for sure at this stage because the leaves are not fully emerged.  Maybe there is a tree nearby or a friendly squirrel buried his stash in the mulch.
