Early Meadow Rue
This plant was just popping up through the leaf litter! At maturity, it will have clusters of long-stemmed, drooping, greenish-white flowers atop leafy stems.
The species name is derived from the Greek word meaning "two households", which alludes to the fact that the male and female flowers are on separate plants.

"Thalictrum dioicum", the early meadow-rue or quicksilver-weed, is a species of herbaceous plants in the family Ranunculaceae. Plants are typically upright growing woodland natives from Colorado Rocky Mountain forests to central and eastern North America including parts of south eastern Canada.
