Narrative:
As the airplane touched down; a flock of small birds flew by and several seemed to strike the aircraft. After the post-flight inspection; I saw remains of at least two birds that hit the left wing leading edge and radome. Maintenance confirmed the hits with the one hitting the radome going into the right engine. The airplane bird strike was entered into the logbook; and maintenance wrote that a borescope of the right engine was needed. We had an unscheduled aircraft swap and left the airplane with another crew; who was aware of the item entered in the logbook. The airport authorities were notified after turning off of the runway and they checked the runway; but we did not hear whether they saw any remains of the birds.
