Why those river birch leafs look like that?

Professional company delivered and installed 12' river birch I picked few weeks ago.

I noticed some leafs are chewed on. My suspicion is larvae of the Dusky Birch Sawfly but I'm not arborist. 

Is that something serious? should I do anything or the problem will go away?

 

Thank you for any advice.

There's been a lot of alder beetle around this spring and the sawfly larvae are pretty easy to spot.

Having said that I can't see any alder beetle in your picture either, but they do move on.

Yeah, couldn't spot anything either when inspecting the tree. As I wrote..I picked the tree weeks ago and was just brought yesterday so I assume they had something on their farm that ws eating those leafs.
