Hi, Joanne!
Your flower is Large-flowered Valerian (Valeriana pauciflora Michx.).
Nice find. I know of it from very few spots (only one in Salt Fork...where I saw my first one), but I believe that it is locally common...if you know where to look.
Good birding...and botanizing...

Found it at the entrance of Conkle's Hollow. I can't find it in my
flower books.

While visiting the area, saw several black and white warblers, scarlet
tanagers, cedar waxwings, red-eyed vireos (singing everywhere!), one
calling tufted titmouse, crows, and a huge bird that screamed "raven"
but could not have been--probably a quick glance at a black vulture or a
pileated woodpecker. It was a very brief sighting while driving down
the road near Conkle's Hollow, not long enough for an ID, obviously.
Are there otters at Clear Creek? Hubby and I believe we may have seen
one -- too big for muskrat, wrong tail for beaver.
Thanks.
