I've had a large bird strike just on the bottom edge of the windshield. We were turning onto final at the time. Its not very nice! It comes up so damn fast, natural reaction is to duck ('scuse the pun)/move sideways which is just what we did! The blood and guts were scraped off by the engineer later.
If you can imagine someone suddenly punching you in the face its like that, but without the pain.
