You gotta walk carefully 'round that stuff....don't know what you'll find.  

They're both pretty common Oaks, but not Blackjack.

1.Water Oak (AKA: Possum oak, Spotted oak, Quercus nigra Linnaeus)

2. Laurel Oak (AKA: Laurel-leaved oak, Darlington oak, Swamp laurel oak, Quercus laurifolia Michaux)

Note to Tom: There are 2 separate trees listed as BlackJack Oak.

A) Blackjack Oak (AKA: Barren oak, Jack Oak, Quercus marilandica Muenchhausen).  This tree has leaves that look very much like example one.
B) Emory Oak (AKA: Black Oak, Blackjack Oak, Quercus emoryi Torrey).  This tree has leaves completely different than example one.

If 2 isn't Laurel oak, then I don't know what it is.  Could it be Southern Red Oak?? :P ::)

I wrote it on the picture on the first post, charlie.  You were right, it's Turkey Oak.  See those leaves that look like turkey feetses?

Turkey oak in florida is different than this picture but I found sites that list different oaks with the common name "turkey oak". This may be a different red oak than I am familiar with......   (with which I am familiar. :P)

http://www.fl-dof.com/Pubs/trees_of_florida/turkeyoak.html
http://www.nobleplants.com/classnotes/fall/quercuskey.htm

I would have been tempted to have called #2 laurel oak too.  Young trees of the red oaks sometimes produce some strangely lobed leaves.  I've seen some here that look like northern red oak.  As the tree matures, the leaves tend to becomes more definable to their species.  Why?  I dunno.
