Nope, no other damage, at least none that I could see, although like I said, it's really hard to see in there.

Based on my extensive viewing of various myth busters episodes relating to things at high velocity bouncing off of other things, I have a feeling that most of the energy of the impact dissipated when it hit the radiator and I suspect it just fell downward at that point, but even if it bounced at all it couldn't have been carrying much speed. I was worried it may have gotten sucked up into the air intake but it was just a couple of feathers in the filter and nothing more.
