Question Rejected Takeoff

While on the take off roll by day at speed around 100 kt with V1 as 143 kt, a large bird was seen crossing the aircraft's path. Immediately thereafter, a thud was heard followed by loud rumbling sound from the No.2 engine. The captain rejected the takeoff safely. Post flight inspection showed damamge to one blade which had to be changed. Was it right for the captain to have rejected the takeoff without checking the engine parameters?
