I can confirm that it is Poison Ivy. As, I accidentally brushed my hand on it while taking photos and now, I've got itchy bumps on my hand and wrist. I need to be more careful!
How can I be so dumb...every year this area is filled with it and poison oak during the summer...but it would be green. Since it was a different color in spring, I thought it was something different like the maple tree. I never knew it could be this color... I learned something new.
No wonder the deer ate the leaves off the sapling and left the Ivy leaves in these places...that should've been a sign to me.
