Yes it's definitely witch hazel. There is lots of witch hazel in the woods around here as an understory shrub. There is still a commercial market for the distilled bark and twigs.

There are several asian cultivars that are quite common in the landscape, those type of witch hazels bloom in very early spring or late winter. One of the best ones is the 'Arnold Promise'
