tree dropping leaves like it's winter

[Crawford's Dad]

These last two months of summer in west Tennessee, my tree (water oak?) sheds leaves like crazy. Roughly every 2 weeks I gather enough to fill up a 96 gallon garbage bin. It hasn't been a dry summer here. The same size and type of tree nearby does not share this problem. The fallen leaves on ground appear spotted. Tree still looks healthy to my untrained eye. Any ideas? Moved here in April so no history prior. 100 degree weather and falling leaves makes for fun. Thanks!

I feel your pain, the wateroaks in my yard are dropping leaves like that, been pretty dry, but seems much worse than usual.
