I've cleaned up a few seagull strikes before (being so close to the coast) during my mechanic days.
If you thought those things smell bad when they're alive . . . ... you should smell them when they're disassembled!

I've taken out a few bats as well...
although I didn't try to smell them personally...

It's kind of morbidly amusing that the head seems so intact. Depending on how the other side of the face looks, it might be worth a trip to the taxidermist. Well, as long as mounting an eagle isn't illegal.

I have to admit, the eagle had a small window to hit when it took on a C130 (http://forums.watchuseek.com/attachments/f7/68851d1194268292-ot-unusual-bird-strike-%2A%2A-caution-not-pretty-pix-1.jpg)

I'd seen the inside picture (and some other interior shots) before, but never the outside. Quite a mess on that plane.
