First those are not shadows of branches on the brid, they are the actual branches but out of focus due to DOF.

In this image, you could use the Clone/Heal tool to copy pixels from clean parts of the bird to the parts obsucred by the out of focus branches as fortunatly you have a fair amount of clean bird to clone from.

So, you suggested that it is not necessary to use mask.
I originally wanted to use mask because it is easy to grasp the boundaries of spot.
Thank you.

The problem with using a mask in this situaiton is that even if you created a perfect mask over those branches that go across the bird, what adjustments would you make to eliminate the brownish branches? I can't think of any that could remove the foreground branches and reveal the feather colors of the bird.
