Default Damage from bird strike?

Was doing a low pass, 3' agl, in a ventus b at redline and hit a sparrow dead center at the leading edge about 3 feet in from the tip. Sounded like a rifle shot and after landing found little evidence of the bird, some feathers and blood, but no damage to the plane. Didnt even take off the gel coat. Cant say the same for my drawers though
