Disholcaspis globosa
Based on current literature (this group is apparently in need of revision) this is most likely Disholcaspis globosa, based on the number and placement and color of the galls and the likely placement on a young sprout near the ground.

Bullet galls
Don't forget to include which type of oak--at the very least red vs. white groups! Presumably this is Quercus alba with Disholcaspis quercusglobulus galls.
