## Discrepancy

AT ROTATION, THE RIGHT ENGINE INGESTED A BIRD CAUSING SEVERE VIBRATION.  CREW SHUT DOWN THE RIGHT ENGINE AND PERFORMED AN AIR TURNBACK LANDING AT MDW.  AFTER LANDING, FIRE PERSONNEL REPORTED FUEL LEAKING FROM THE RIGHT ENGINE.  AS A PRECAUTION, CREW PULLED RIGHT ENGINE FIRE HANDLE AND FIRED ONE BOTTLE.  FUEL LEAK CEASED AND AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO THE GATE WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE RIGHT ENGINE.
