Narrative:

We were taking off on runway 10R at pdx. We hit bird(south) in the left engine. There was a very loud sound and vibration coming from the left engine. I shut down the left engine and declared an emergency, did all checklists, and hand flew aircraft to a safe landing on runway 10R at pdx.
