Narrative:

During the nighttime takeoff roll; at approximately 140 KTS; runway 36R; I saw an image of a large bird directly in front of the aircraft on the right side. Because of the darkness; the bird was not visible until just before impact. I then heard a loud bang and the aircraft yawed to the right of centerline. The captain immediately called reject and I relinquished control of the aircraft to the captain; performed the rejected takeoff procedures and notified the tower of the rejected takeoff. The captain taxied the aircraft off runway 36R onto taxiway J and then onto taxiway B. Upon reaching taxiway B; he stopped the aircraft; shut down the right engine; and I notified the tower to have an airport operations vehicle inspect the right side of the aircraft. During the inspection; the airport operations officer noticed bird feathers sticking out of the right engine exhaust tail cone. I then checked the brake temperatures on the EICAS status page. The #4 and #8 brake indicators read '7' and the #3 and #7 brake indicators indicated '6' and '5' respectively. The left side; #1; #2; #5 and #6 read '3' and '4.' I then reviewed with the captain; the QRH landing brake cooling schedule section; and informed our local operations of the bird strike and we would be returning to the gate. Finally; we returned to the gate and discussed the situation with maintenance control; operations; dispatch; and maintenance. Talking with maintenance personnel it became apparent that the loud bang was a compressor stall. While debriefing with the flight attendants; they reported a passenger saw blue flames and sparks out of the exhaust of the right engine. During my postflt walkaround; I noticed bird feathers located behind the N1 blades and feathers located in the exhaust section of the engine.

Title: A B757-200 STRUCK A BIRD DURING TKOF. THE CREW REJECTED THE TKOF AND DISCOVERED A DAMAGED R ENG.

Narrative: DURING THE NIGHTTIME TKOF ROLL; AT APPROX 140 KTS; RWY 36R; I SAW AN IMAGE OF A LARGE BIRD DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE ACFT ON THE R SIDE. BECAUSE OF THE DARKNESS; THE BIRD WAS NOT VISIBLE UNTIL JUST BEFORE IMPACT. I THEN HEARD A LOUD BANG AND THE ACFT YAWED TO THE R OF CTRLINE. THE CAPT IMMEDIATELY CALLED REJECT AND I RELINQUISHED CTL OF THE ACFT TO THE CAPT; PERFORMED THE REJECTED TKOF PROCS AND NOTIFIED THE TWR OF THE REJECTED TKOF. THE CAPT TAXIED THE ACFT OFF RWY 36R ONTO TXWY J AND THEN ONTO TXWY B. UPON REACHING TXWY B; HE STOPPED THE ACFT; SHUT DOWN THE R ENG; AND I NOTIFIED THE TWR TO HAVE AN ARPT OPS VEHICLE INSPECT THE R SIDE OF THE ACFT. DURING THE INSPECTION; THE ARPT OPS OFFICER NOTICED BIRD FEATHERS STICKING OUT OF THE R ENG EXHAUST TAIL CONE. I THEN CHKED THE BRAKE TEMPS ON THE EICAS STATUS PAGE. THE #4 AND #8 BRAKE INDICATORS READ '7' AND THE #3 AND #7 BRAKE INDICATORS INDICATED '6' AND '5' RESPECTIVELY. THE L SIDE; #1; #2; #5 AND #6 READ '3' AND '4.' I THEN REVIEWED WITH THE CAPT; THE QRH LNDG BRAKE COOLING SCHEDULE SECTION; AND INFORMED OUR LCL OPS OF THE BIRD STRIKE AND WE WOULD BE RETURNING TO THE GATE. FINALLY; WE RETURNED TO THE GATE AND DISCUSSED THE SITUATION WITH MAINT CTL; OPS; DISPATCH; AND MAINT. TALKING WITH MAINT PERSONNEL IT BECAME APPARENT THAT THE LOUD BANG WAS A COMPRESSOR STALL. WHILE DEBRIEFING WITH THE FLT ATTENDANTS; THEY RPTED A PAX SAW BLUE FLAMES AND SPARKS OUT OF THE EXHAUST OF THE R ENG. DURING MY POSTFLT WALKAROUND; I NOTICED BIRD FEATHERS LOCATED BEHIND THE N1 BLADES AND FEATHERS LOCATED IN THE EXHAUST SECTION OF THE ENG.
