Hawk hit air intake.  Was in Bravo.  Told tower i had a bird strike and making precationary landing. Told the station the same thing.  Landed in a field, went to idle.  Got out and could see blood on the cowling.  Everything looked good.  Did hover checks.  Everything felt fine.  Flew about 6 miles back to the airport.  Shutdown.  Spent the next two hours washing bird guts out of the rotorhead/Starflex where it ended up after hitting the air intake cowling.
