possible bird strike

AMC had a BK117 bird strike at cruise a couple years so ago--knocked back both throttles. Thinking he had a double eng failure, pilot entered auto, yet noticed prior to touchdown and advanced throttles for much more controlled and successful landing. I don't remember the alt at which the strike occured.
