Narrative:

During takeoff I had to abort due to a bird strike on the left side of the aircraft. After exiting the runway, the torque gauge spiked, so as we taxied back to parking, I shut down the affected engine (#1). After parking and shutting down the other engine, I wrote up the bird strike in the maintenance log and proceeded to call the tower on the phone as they requested me to. After making my call and writing my company irregularity report, I was approached by 2 men from the FAA as they wanted to know why I aborted. After telling my story, they asked me if I wrote up the discrepancy in the logbook. I replied yes that I wrote up the bird strike in the logbook. They also asked me if I wrote up the torque gauge and that I aborted the takeoff in the maintenance log. I said no not yet I felt I would call the tower first before I would finish the discrepancies in the logbook. They told me I should have written up all of the discrepancies before leaving the aircraft. I said that I was really upset about the tower wanting me to call them. They said they understood. So I proceeded back to the aircraft and finished writing up the rest of the discrepancies. Nothing else was said and after maintenance was finished I ferried the aircraft back to the maintenance base.
