Galls and a community of aphid-like creatures?

Galls and a community of aphid-like creatures?
New York City, Manhattan County, New York, USA
June 21, 2014
Size: .05-5mm
I found this leaf on a very large tree in Central Park several leaves where similarly infested. I noticed what appeared to be all stages of life. On the top of the leaf were galls but when I cut one open there was just pith inside.

The tree might be a poplar or a cottonwood. Not certain.
