Mama Shakespeare's Guacamole?

Female Northern Cardinal, Cardinalis cardinalis.

The photographer writes;

Mama Shakespeare interrupted her meal to pay me a visit in, where else, Central Park's Shakespeare Garden. Look at her closely. No, that isn't guacamole squirting out of her beak. It is of insect origin but I do not know precisely what creature it formerly was. I do know that I have seen this same light shade of green protruding from Northern Cardinal beaks in the past. It's a nice color isn't it?

If you have adolescents in close proximity I think they will especially like this image. It has a generous amount of "Ewwwww!" factor that they so enjoy.
