## Discrepancy

UPON ARRIVAL AT THE MX BASE, EVIDENCE OF A BIRD STRIKE WAS NOTICED ON THE RT WING L/E.  UPON CLOSER EXAMINATION IT WAS FOUND THAT THE BIRD HAD IMPACTED ON THE FWD EDGE OF THE UPPER FWD ENG COWL (COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE HORSECOLLAR) AND SPLATTERED BACK ON TO THE WING L/E.  THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE WING, HOWEVER THERE WAS A DENT IN THE HORSECOLLAR.  THE HORSECOLLAR COWL WAS REPLACED AND THE ACFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
