What are these and are they good for wildlife? Pic 1 and 2 are same tree...there are several of these that still have brown leaves hanging on.

Top looks like a white oak, leave tips are round. Can't see the other oak, red oak have pointed ends. Beech is correct. All produce fruits but not every year. Oaks produce large crops every other year and very small crops the alternate years. Red oak acorns are bitter, white are sweeter. Deer prefer white oak acorns.
 
Top 2 are in red oak family and produce acorns. Bottom appears to be beech and produce Beechnuts. Both are eaten by deer, squirrels, etc.
 
Logcabinman is right. I was looking at center leaf in top pic. Looks pointed. Leaves over on left and in 2nd pic appear rounded. White oak.

White Oaks tend to drop their leaves. I have a Scarlet Oak in my back yard that will hold leaves til the new bloom comes in
