Bird hits pitot tube.

Pitot tube broken.

Vacuum instruments affected.
You want to try that one again? Are you sure what's powered by the vacuum pump, and which instruments are on the pitot-static system? You seem a little confused about aircraft systems.

Dead birdie remains near pitot tube.

Air in vicinity of pitot tube disturbed.

Vacuum instruments affected.
Which vacuum instruments would those be? Explain more. I'm curious.
They tried to outfly the Lake with obvious results.
Not too obvious. It's really a toss-up as to which will win a race; the bird, or the Lake.

Strikes in the trailing edge by overtaking birds are not out of the question...
