I have been growing plants indoors, mainly herbs and a few flowering plants. I moved my amaryllis pot and found these two growing in my window box. I think they might be oaks. We have both red and white oaks in Cleveland. I have never had a bonsai before but have always wanted one.

Can anyone help me ID these guys and tell me what to do with them?
Info:
I live in Ohio, but have also had this planter with plants in it in Colorado.
I did put it outdoors for a few days during the fall last year, but it's been indoors for a long time.
It's indoors in the southeast window of the house. We have diffuse plant lights in the room to get the plants through the winter (which still hasn't left!)
House is usually 60 (F) at night, sometimes more like 55ish since the polar vortex won't leave us alone!
House gets up to 70ish during the day if lucky
It's normal potting soil, nothing fancy.
The only thing growing in the pot is my sweet basil.
I've had thyme and thai basil in this pot but they died a while ago :'(
I also like feeding birds and sometimes a few seeds make it into my planters, but I've never seen volunteers look like these
I'm completely new to bonsai, but pretty ok at regular plants. Any direction would be very appreciated!
Thanks!!
