Virginia creeper is a native plant in Connecticut (alas, so is poison ivy). I like it because it not only supports local wildlife, but also has amazing fall color - brilliant red. The gazebo at Elizabeth Park in the rose garden is covered with it and is spectacular in September.
Neither oak nor sumac - look at google images of the vines. I'm trying to see if it's in one of my i.d. books...
