Good luck Steve, we had a P-Baron take a bird in the top 25% of the windscreen while landing at Lambert, KSTL recently. Took out part of the plastic (just the top not the whole thing) along with the sheet metal on top of the cabin and a good dent in the horizontal stab. Yes, it looks like the bird fragmented on initial impact. Antennas, vertical fin, and horizontal all had remains on it!
