Here's a link to an article that explains this disorder: https://www.calacademy.org/press/releases/newly-discovered-virus-a-prime-suspect-in-mysterious-often-fatal-beak-disorder (Thanks to Lori Markoff for this.)

Given that this looks like Avian Keratin Disorder, I'll take down my feeders for a couple of weeks. Thanks to those who made this suggestion to me.

I just saw this bird at my feeder. I immediately noticed the long beak and was able to take a few phone photos through the window.
