I am quite positive that the windscreen of the Piper Warrior has a
magnification effect.  I hit a goose after rotation and that bugger
looked like an elephant coming at me!  I couldn't put it back down
on the remaining runway and did a quick circuit.  Found that the
prop had some paint scratches on the back side and the runway had
7 pieces of dead goose.  yum yum.   You can be sure that I do a goose
scan as I'm taxing/taking the active because they can be hard to
spot.

Another guy I know was flying a Commander and he hit a hawk about
2000AGL.  Did some pretty good damage to his leading edge, just
outboard of his fuel tanks.
