    I don't think it's a dire attack.

    Maybe some type of disease? The red spots maybe a reaction to it? I would think bugs would leave clean holes.

    I think that is a fungus.

    Quite common on lots of oaks and others. We've never worried about it.

    Looks like some kind of rust blight......I wouldn't be too concerned. Our Norway maples get a black spot blight every other year or so.

    By the way, welcome to the site!
