Narrative:

Immediately after takeoff we began to smell something burning. I instructed the first officer to don his smoke goggles and oxygen mask. I then gave him the airplane controls and I donned my goggles and mask. The flight attendant in the rear reported smoke in the cabin. All system appeared normal and engines were operating normal as well. Not knowing the source of the smoke, we declared an emergency and made an immediate left downwind to runway 17 at mco. An overweight landing was conducted and the airplane was stopped on the runway. Firefighters inspected the airplane inside and out. They determined the cause of the smoke was a bird ingestion in the #2 engine. We taxied back to the gate and released the airplane to maintenance. All of the passenger remained in their seats throughout the incident. Establishing communications with the cabin and ATC was difficult in the short time we had to land the aircraft. There were no injuries and no aircraft damage.
