Narrative:
After normal touchdown and initial reversing; saw 2 hawks eating on centerline. Felt 2 thumps. Smelled hot indistinguishable hot smell. Upon clearing runway noticed left low oil press red then also saw left engine had seized. Called flight attendants to get report from back. Lead said he saw light colored smoke. We had no fire indication. We decided to have fire trucks come and closely check engine after we cleared and coordinated with ground. Fire and maintenance came out to inspect and a decision was made to continue to gate via super tug. We also ran engine severe damage QRH.
