Our city had at one time planted birch along the boulevards in many residential areas. Which was fine initially because Edmonton once received more annual rainfall/moisture than it does of late. The city got smart and replaced the dead and dying trees with burr oak. Oak have a tap root which allows them to seek water deep within the soil whereas many trees have shallow roots which run parallel to the surface. I took this photo last evening while enjoying a glorious autumn stroll.

I love your shot of the oak leaf. Yes, it is that time of year to see wonderful colors.
Beautiful color! Here in the south we are still having very warm temps and our leaves do not change until late October.
