BIRD STRIKE ON AN LR60 DURING TKOF ROLL AT BED; MA.

Narrative

DURING TAXI; SEVERAL FLOCKS OF NUMEROUS SMALL BIRDS WERE OBSERVED ON GND AND INFLT AROUND ARPT. RWY 29 HAD A DOZEN CANADIAN GEESE IN THE TOUCHDOWN ZONE. MY FLT WAITED FOR TWR TO OPEN (MASSPORT WASN'T MONITORING CTAF); ADVISED OF THE SIT AND REQUEST MASSPORT TO SEND A VEHICLE TO CLR THE BIRDS. DURING THE 15 MIN DELAY; TWR CALLED US SEVERAL TIMES TO SAY HE DIDN'T SEE ANY BIRDS. THE ASTRA JET BEHIND US DEPARTED PRIOR TO THE RWY BEING CHKED AND ENCOUNTERED A FLOCK OF 50+ SMALL BIRDS JUST PRIOR TO ROTATION. THERE WERE ALSO 2 ARRS TO THE XING RWY. NEITHER WAS ADVISED OF THE 'FOWL' CONDITIONS BY TWR. DURING THE SECOND ARR; AN ARPT VEHICLE STARTED CLRING THE BIRDS. THIS CAUSED THE CANADIAN GEESE TO TAKE OFF. THEY FLEW THROUGH THE RWY 23 APCH ZONE AT 100-200 FT AS THE OTHER ACFT WAS ARRIVING. I ADVISED IN THE BLIND OVER TWR FREQ THE DIRECTION; POS AND ALT THE GEESE WERE FLYING. NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FROM TWR OR THE OTHER ACFT. AFTER MASSPORT CLRED THE RWY AND I VISUALLY CHKED FOR BIRDS; MY FLT DEPARTED. JUST PRIOR TO V1; 20 OR SO SMALL BIRDS TOOK OFF FROM THE GRASS AND CROSSED IN FRONT OF MY FLT. THERE WAS 1 BIRD STRIKE FORWARD OF THE CAPT'S PITOT PROBE ON THE NOSE. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE. IT APPEARS THAT ATC AND PLTS ARE GETTING COMPLACENT ABOUT WILDLIFE. YET EVEN WITH ALL AVAILABLE PRECAUTIONS TAKEN; MY FLT HAD A BIRD STRIKE. AT LEAST IT WASN'T A GOOSE.
