Narrative:

On landing at lga at about 40 ft I saw a seagull cross left to right in front of aircraft. It was large with a 2-3 ft wingspan and gray. It missed the nose as it dived out of the way to the right of the nose but we felt a thump at about 20 ft AGL and shortly after that touched down while the smell of burnt feathers and seabird began to permeate the air in the aircraft. On rollout I had the first officer turn off right pack and bleed and the smell began to dissipate. As we taxied clear of runway I had first officer shut down right engine and he notified operations and maintenance who then met the aircraft at the gate. Engine inspection verified that right engine had ingested the bird.
