Narrative:

A large seagull was ingested into #2 engine causing a flameout immediately following rotation. First officer flew standard single engine profile in right traffic visually. Captain/crew executed single engine memory procedures and found that #2 engine had relit and was providing some power. All engine indications were normal, but engine had a loud whining noise and aircraft handling suggested partial power loss from #2 engine. Captain declared emergency and notified ATC, company, and passenger. All relevant checklists were reviewed including single engine procedures (crew elected to keep partial power engine running). After uneventful flaps 20 degree landing and roll onto taxiway, #2 engine was shut down, but caught on fire. Crew proceeded with emergency evacuate/evacuation procedures. All 18 passenger and 2 crew deplaned without injuries. Good training and excellent crew resource management contributed to the successful outcome of this bird strike.
