This Black Capped Chickadee is a regular at my feeders this winter. The misshaped beak doesn't seem to effect him. I have lots of photos of him this winter, but these came out a bit better than the others.

Thanks Dan. I have got where I can spot him near my window without having to zoom in on him after the fact, on the computer screen!

^^^^What he said!^^^^
Deformity or not, your 1st image is simply adorable Sandy. I know I've never seen a deformity of this nature, but certainly hope it continues to thrive.

Thanks Steve! I'm sure he or she, will continue to do well. It often sits on a branch for a while, but then when it takes a seed, it leaves with it. I wish it would stick around so I can watch it eat!
