I'm a bit embarrassed to admit it but I don't know how to go about removing the small piece of whatever it is beneath the birds beak. I truly appreciate assistance with removal. Thank you so much !
In Photoshop I suggest you use a small cloning spot picking up the sky just below the object.
There is also a slight colour cast and the colours are a bit hyper. Both points could easily be addressed.

From the comments by the OP it would seem that he has limited knowledge of how to make post processing changes. I think it would help if you could tell him how to make any changes you suggest.

There are few Programs that are Free that you use to clone.
Gimp - Fairly hard to learn, but is a top notch program of free.
Light Zone - Fairly easy and a few hours to learn, fun to play with.
Searcher has listed both at in the free software listing.

With some PP software, when you turn up the saturation it boosts yellow more than the other colours. The effect on the bird is fine, but the rest of the picture suffers, in particular the pine cones.
You can counter an overall colour cast using the White Balance (WB) and Tint sliders, and if anything in the shot is refusing to normalise or is becoming unnaturally tinted, you can counter that in the HSL section (Hue, Saturation and Luminosity) which gives you access to the individual colours.
In my posted edit I found that my efforts to subdue yellow and orange were having an adverse effect on the bird, so I selected it and upped the saturation and used the WB slider to shift its colour more to the yellow end.

In addition, you could easily remove it with Lightroom.
People have suggested using the clone tool in a post processing program, which will work. I would use the lasso tool, myself, selecting the area with the unwanted pixels, feathering that selection a little, and then sliding that selection over into an adjacent blue sky area, copying and then pasting as a new selection which can then be eased into place under the beak.
1,2,3- easy.

That's a good technique. I'll try it as soon as I have an opportunity.
