Narrative:
On the takeoff roll; at approximately 120 knots; I saw/felt/heard what I perceived to be a bird strike of the left side of the aircraft. The bird (?) appeared to be white and moderate to large size. It seemed to be a glancing blow. No engine anomalies nor control issues were present thus the takeoff continued normally. There was a short-lived (one minute or less) very faint burnt odor; which cleared rapidly during the initial climbout. The flight proceeded uneventfully until after landing and taxiing clear of the runway; the captain noticed a large cloud of smoke; which appeared to be coming from the aircraft. The smoke quickly cleared and we had no indications in the cockpit of any problems. We stopped the aircraft on the taxiway and requested airport rescue and fire fighting (arff) inspect the aircraft before proceeding into the ramp. Arff reported no abnormalities. Brake temperatures were normal. We then proceeded into the ramp. After exiting the aircraft the captain and mechanic saw damage to several of the left engine fan blades and damage to an inspection panel inboard of the left engine.
