BIRD STRIKES AT 1500 FT DURING TKOF CAUSED B737-300 ENG; WING; AND LNDG LIGHT DAMAGE.

Narrative

HIT A FLOCK OF BIRDS ON DEP FROM ZZZ JUST AS WE WERE MAKING OUR FINAL FLAP RETRACTION. BOTH THE FO AND I HEARD/FELT A VERY LOUD BUMP ON THE R WINDSCREEN. WE BOTH SAW A BLUR GO BY JUST PRIOR TO IMPACT. WE IMMEDIATELY SMELLED COOKED FEATHERS FOR A VERY SHORT TIME. THE FLT ATTENDANTS RPTED SMELLING IT IN THE CABIN AS WELL. THERE WERE NO ABNORMAL ENG INDICATIONS. HOWEVER; AS WE CONTINUED TO FLY THE DEP; WE NOTICED THE FLAPS WERE NOT FULLY RETRACTED (FLAP HANDLE BTWN 1 AND 0). WE RAISED THE FLAPS AND CONTINUED TO CLB. AT THE TIME OUR AIRSPD WAS ABOUT 240-250 KIAS. I THINK THE POORLY TIMED BIRD STRIKE WAS ENOUGH TO INTERRUPT OUR FLOW. ONCE WE REACHED CRUISE ALT; WE SENT AN ACARS MESSAGE TO DISPATCH TO REQUEST MAINT WHEN WE REACHED DEST. WE WERE INVOLVED IN AN ACFT SWAP AND THE ONCOMING CREW RPTED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE #1 ENG. I WAS SURPRISED BECAUSE THE ONLY INDICATION WE HAD WAS THE LOUD BUMP ON THE R WINDSCREEN AND BRIEF ODOR. I INSPECTED THE DAMAGE WHICH INCLUDED SIGNIFICANT DENTS ON THE #1 ENG COWLING; ONE DAMAGED FAN BLADE; BROKEN RETRACTABLE LNDG LIGHT (#1) AND LOTS OF BLOOD ON THE WING. IF I HAD KNOWN THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE AT THE TIME OF THE BIRD STRIKE I DEFINITELY WOULD HAVE RETURNED TO ZZZ.
