Of there are any yellow flowers, then this could also be a plant with the common name of wood sorrel, which is a wild edible.

They also look very similar to an other type of plant you have in your area, and that is Oxalis montana. Take a look here http://eol.org/data_objects/20608077. Do they have any types of flowers?
