So can it be suspected that all 18 birds died since all the transmitters
stopped transmitting or stayed at one spot?

That seems like awfully high mortality. Seems that the Shy Albatross is
the true loser. 

Hopefully, this hold project can make this trend reverse.

I saw at one point one of the birds on its way to South America. Was
this an error, or was it a real move?
