Narrative:

During the takeoff roll, at V1 of 121 KIAS, a bird was struck by the left wing root spraying the bird into the left engine and causing a power loss. Takeoff was continued, the engine was shut down per checklist and an uneventful landing was made. I don't really feel anything could have been done to prevent this situation.
