Narrative:
On approach to land, I was over the runway trying to correct for a left crosswind and flared, probably flared too high. When the aircraft touched down and bounced I released some of the back pressure and the aircraft bounced again, only in a more nose down attitude and I saw something like a pebble fly off the nose of the plane. I applied full power and went around. The event occurred on the 2ND of 3 attempts to land. On the 3RD, the landing was without difficulties. On taxi, the propeller seemed to rattle and after shutdown, one of the blades was loose. All 3 blades were bent backwards.
