P110.33-34 -- unable now even to locate his murderer, ruptured, splashing blood, raucously dying....
raucous
–adjective
1. harsh; strident; grating: raucous voices; raucous laughter.
2. rowdy; disorderly: a raucous party.
Which meaning of the word "raucous" apply here? Is the bird still making noise as it is dying?
BTW, page and line numbers are for the 2006 Penguin Deluxe Edition.
