Narrative:

At 300 ft AGL; a bird impacted the captain's windscreen and obscured my vision. The first officer was flying; landed; and we were instructed to take runway 33 or the taxiway just prior to runway 33. Upon turning off; I saw a regional jet on the taxiway to our right; but I couldn't tell which taxiway it was on or gauge their movement due to his taxi light being turned off as we cleared the runway. I also had a difficult time seeing where the taxiway was that we were supposed to use due to very poor lighting in that area. Ground control told us to keep moving and clear the runway since another airplane had been cleared for takeoff before we were completely off the runway. There seemed to be no completely correct course of action for us.
