(not a single mention of it on the air from Delta, but there was a report of birds on final by a Southwest)

  "Crews received an indication of a mechanical issue in the nose of the aircraft," according to a statement Delta sent to Denver7. "The flight landed safely and taxied to the gate without incident. Our maintenance crews are inspecting the aircraft. We apologize to our customers for the delay in their travel.”

A Delta spokesperson added "we did not receive a report of the aircraft being struck."

Nobody was injured, Delta said. The aircraft will be repaired overnight. 
DENVER — A Delta plane had visible damage to its nose from a mechanical issue, but landed safely at its destination in Denver on Monday, the airline confirmed.  A new aircraft, an Airbus A319, will fly customers who are on flight DL2362 to Salt Lake City from Denver on Monday evening. That flight has been delayed by four and a half hours, Delta said.

An Airbus A320 carrying 148 customers and six crew members — DL1648 — took off from Detroit around 12:45 p.m. Monday and landed just after 1:30 p.m.
