The pilot reported that a hawk impacted the right wing of the airplane while he was conducting a practice instrument approach in visual conditions. The flight was at 3,000 feet mean sea level and outside the final approach fix at the time of the impact. The pilot maintained control of the airplane and transitioned to a visual approach, subsequently executing a straight-in, no-flap landing without further incident. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing as a result of the collision.
