The metaphor in this passage describes Antigone as a bird who has lost her babies. This means that she is crying over her dead brother, and the Sentry sees her as a wailing animal. This emphasizes the fact that Antigone is very loyal to her family, and obviously very pasionate about everything she does. When the Sentry describes when they were bearing down on her like predators going for the kill, Antigone doesn't resist, which contributes to the fact that later in the story, Antigone accepts Creon's punishment without any resistance. Antigone seems very determined to disobey Creon's laws, and is willing to do anything to gie her brother the proper burial she thinks he deserves.
