“What a trill!”

Hi Strands fans. As long as you don't misread the theme - "What a trill!" - today's puzzle isn't too bad. Trilling is, of course, associated with SONGBIRDS: the spangram, that's spelt across the board from left to right.
It turns out I'm no ornotholagist, so couldn't easily tell you which birds can sing and which cannot. So it was more of a case of finding any bird names I recognized at all.
Fortunately, that was easy enough. I spotted SPARROW in the top-right corner, followed by CHICKADEE to its left to complete the top half of the board rather quickly.
The lower segment started with WREN in the bottom-right corner, and proceeded with CARDINAL to its left. That just left WARBLER in the bottom-left corner and LARK above it to complete the puzzle.
