Hypothetical Bird Strike Question

While flying in the traffic pattern today I noticed a Bald Eagle circling right below us. Didn't have to do any maneuvers around it but had to watch its movements very closely.

This got me thinking about what would be the procedure if it had flew into our path and hit us. I know its a NTSB bird strike form but would there be any other procedure to follow, since it's a protected bird ?

It was quite interesting to see the bird. I've seen them from the ground but never from the air and that close up.
