Narrative:
On takeoff from bos runway 22R, at rotation felt yaw to left. Thought we had hit something, blown tire, or had compressor stall on #1. Stayed in area to assess problem. Flight attendant reported passenger reported smoke and fire from left side. Precautionary shutdown of #1 engine. Never raised gear because of possibility that problem was that we hit something. Low pass over runway for ger inspection. Checked ok. Landed ok. Subsequent investigation revealed bird to #1 engine.
