I stumbled across a link to this video while editing the Oak Savanna page on Wikipedia. Well worth watching this 8 minute video. Although the species are different in Oregon than in the Midwest, the habitat seems very similar.
Oregon oak savanna video (It may take a few seconds to load.)
The principal oak here is the Oregon white oak or Garry Oak, Quercus garryana, named for Nicholas Garry, a deputy governor of the Hudson's Bay Company in the early 1800s. This species ranges from southern California to southwestern British Columbia, growing mostly at lower altitudes.
