Rudbeckia hirta
Large flower head, 2-3" wide, with a brown button-like center surrounded by daisy like yellow petals. Leaf is long, slender, toothless, very hairy.
Spotted on Tamarac NWR near the Visitor Center. It grows in dry, open fields, prairies and deciduous woods.
Also called Brown-eyed Susan. Its seeds make a good food source for Goldfinches and House Finches.
