Sycamore Trouble

We live in a wooded neighborhood with a predominance of Sycamores. You get used to the seasons and the trees droppings :) This year something is different. The young leaves are dying on the tree and dropping off. We live in the Midatlantic and we have had variable weather with 75 degree days followed by freezes a few days later. Would anyone have a suggestion regarding what might be bothering the trees and what we might do for them?

Thank you

something (and I don't know if it's fungal/viral/bacterial, etc) is affecting most of the sycamores I've seen in the states, from wisconsin to vermont to north carolina, anyway, that results in early loss of leaves and/or leaves never really filling in.

sadly, I don't know what's doing it, and neither did my college botany professor, who brought it to my attention 13 or so years ago.

Thank you :) I will watch our trees and see. I think they did this last year as well. Just don't remember so many leaves falling so early.
