Answer

very common

although not always visible to the passengers.

Airflow has a great deal to do with scrubbing of remains which can be viewed from the pax windows, but goo stuck in protected areas will remain much longer.

Just take a look at the soft areas on the leading edges of horriz stabs and you are only looking at about one hundreth of the encounters with birds.
