Delta Flight 2281, which was headed to Washington, DC, returned to the airport at 10:36 p.m., 47 minutes after it took off, according to information from flight data tracking platform FlightAware.
The flight turned around after its crew reported a bird strike had cracked a windshield on the Airbus A320.
In a statement to CNN, Delta Air Lines said maintenance personnel were evaluating the aircraft as the airline worked to reaccommodate customers on an alternate aircraft to Washington D.C.
