Fall leaves

The yellow leaf picture here comes from a certain tree. Can you guess below what kind?

Hint: The leaves and twigs are consumed by white-tailed deer in both summer and winter. Other leaf browsers include groundhogs, marsh rabbits, and American black bears.

Another hint: This tree grows throughout eastern North America, from southernmost Ontario through the eastern United States and down to central Florida, and west as far as southern Iowa and eastern Texas.
