After taking off on Runway 16 and climbing through 300 feet, the airplane suddenly yawed to the right. Subsequently the pilot determined that he had experienced a bird strike, prompting him to gain altitude before circling to the right and landing uneventfully on Runway 16. The airplane's right forward wing spar, about 1 foot inboard from the right wing tip, had sustained substantial damage as a result of the bird strike. As a result of the bird not being detected prior to its impact with the airplane, the pilot did not take evasive action to avoid a collision with the bird.
Probable Cause: An in-flight collision with a bird during takeoff.
