The student pilot was returning from the practice area on a supervised solo. He was on the downwind leg for landing at 1,500 feet when he saw a crow rising from below on the airplane's left side. He heard a large thud, and felt the airplane buffet. The student pilot looked to verify that no other airplanes were in the vicinity, and checked the elevator and rudder visually. He verified that by crabbing the airplane using the rudder and adding power, the airplane was controllable, and could be landed safely. Three outboard ribs of the left wing and the spar sustained substantial damage; the top and bottom skins were wrinkled from the leading edge to the spar.
