Narrative:

On final approach to lnk airport we were on the ILS 18 under visual conditions; it was dusk; the first officer was flying and as we came about 100 feet above touchdown I noticed birds (geese); I verbally communicated birds and it was too late; we hit about two of the geese and I could tell there was about a flock of 6 or so. During out decent we briefed the possibility of birds and we had our eyes open; however; with the dusk situation; we didn't see them till it was too late. After hitting the birds I looked at the engine indications and they were all in the green; the first officer did a fantastic job flying the aircraft till we landed. We notified the ATC about our bird strike; they gave us a phone number to call; we called and talked to them and they wanted to know what kind of damage it was; and if it was considered aircraft accident. I told them; that maintenance had been notified and I wasn't able to answer that question; the police came and took our names down. I called the manager on duty and he said we hand the situation well. Also; talked with controller and filled the paperwork with them.
