Narrative:

B737 takeoff from runway 27L at mia. Several bird strikes to the aircraft nose cone when the aircraft had just passed the intersection of runway 30. Due to the likelihood of engine ingestion and unknown damage, the captain performed a rejected takeoff. The airspeed was over 100 KTS and sufficient runway remained. After an inspection from maintenance, the aircraft returned to the gate and was taken OTS by maintenance. Supplemental information from acn 570566: large birds were spotted just to the right side of the runway centerline. Abort procedures were accomplished by the captain at approximately 110 KTS. Abort procedure was completed with 6000 to 7000 ft of runway remaining.
