Zizia aurea
Yellow flower clusters similar to carrot (same family) or yarrow (different leaves). About 18 inches high.
Partly sunny spots in damp woods. Native to CT.
Similar species - Wild Parsnip (Pastinaca sativa) - nasty invasive that can cause phytophotodermatitis. I spend quite a while with a number of pics and field guides to get a proper ID.
