Narrative:

I had canceled my IFR flight plan in the air and was entering the dij traffic pattern for runway 22. Upon setting up and while entering the 45 entry for right downwind 22 the aircraft was struck by a medium size bird which appeared 30-50' in front of the aircraft. Impact was obvious due to the sound and debris on the windshield. I continued to enter the pattern normally and landed without further incident. Upon landing; a visual inspection determined the bird had impacted the radome causing serious damage.
