Narrative:

The flight is the first flight of the day. On sunday morning and today, I hit multiple birds on the runway. The birds are coming out of the grass just as we reach V1 and rotate. I know we hit at least 2 birds on sunday morning. Today, we had a flock of at least 30 birds cross the runway at rotation. I heard 2 hit the nose. Some birds flew out of the way, but at least 20 birds were close enough to impact. Both mornings the engines ran with normal indications. I continued to the destination airport. I reported to the tower both times. I reported to dispatch both times. I filled out the bird strike forms both times. I am flying the same trip again in september, and I am trying to decide how to handle the bird exposure in mmun. I have hit 2 flocks of birds in 2 days, and have at least 2-8 bird strikes. The birds are small, but there is exposure there that I am concerned about. Should I back-taxi on the runway to try and clear the birds before takeoff? The runway looks clear of birds until we get down the runway. Thank you for looking into this problem.
