Hello ciaradelozier, welcome to Project Noah! These beautiful yellow leaves do not seem to match the shape of Sugar Maple leaves. Look here: http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symb...

They do look very similar to Birch leaves, though I am not sure what kind of Birch.
The Birch family's scientific name is Betulaceae. I hope this helps.
