Narrative:

Bird strike. Just outside of willt on visual approach to runway 27L, we flew through a flock of birds. Appeared to be geese, flying roughly eastbound at about 2400 ft MSL. We struck at least 1 -- heard the sound. After looking at the aircraft after parking at the gate, we noticed a strike on both wing leading edges. The right wing was more damaged than the left, and it looked like the airplane would be going OTS. We also noticed evidence of the strike around the right engine cowl and inlet.
