That looks to me like a samara type seed from an ash tree or tulip tree, in 
which case it could be a food item.

It appears to be a male House Finch passing a non-food item (a leaf?) to a 
female.  I have never seen a bird do this, unless it was material brought to a 
nest site.  Any thoughts on this behavior?
