BWIA MD83 strikes ducks departing Crown Point Tobago. ZQA

Perhaps the captain of this flight could post about his experiences about ten or more years ago when a BW MD83 took of from Tobago at night and experienced multiple bird strikes. One engine ingested seven North American migratory ducks and the other five. They were able to keep one engine running (barely) and make an immediate return to the island. Both engines were totally ruined and it was by extreme good fortune they did not have to do a power off night ditching in the Caribbean Sea.
ZQA was it you?
