 Ox-Eye Daisy
Leucanthemum vulgare
These are very tall; two to four feet.
The main stalk forks very close to the ground with a single bloom per fork.
The leaves are very coarse-looking, ragged and serrated.
The blooms are bigger than an Eisenhower Dollar and stay open.
Here is what Edible Wild Food, NPSdotGov, and Wikipedia have to say about them.

This photo was taken 22-May; in a couple weeks there were fifty times as many in this same spot and they were much taller.
Leaf and stalk view for identification purposes.

Daisy Fleabane
Erigeron annuus
After looking at thousands of examples, this is my best guess as to what these are.
A large scattering of these are growing wild within fifty feet of an equally large grouping of Ox-Eye Daisy , in the same light and soil conditions, yet they are segregated and are not mixed.
Notice that the stalks fork many times and have many blooms per stalk.
The leaves are small and smooth-edged.
The smaller than dime-sized blooms are closed in the morning and open later in the day.
