All that remain of you are

A fading crackle of your energy

And some grainy video footage

By using the word "you," the poet personifies the birds. The birds are fading quickly and the poet mentions what we have now- memories and video. This stanza sets up the next stanza with the specific things it mentions

Will watch to marvel

3/4 At the wonders the world

In fact, a video is a worse than poor substitute for the actual birds.

A poem like this implicitly challenges its readers to do something besides watching about the losses of the natural world.​
