Elliott, a great horned owl is successfully released at Elliott’s Beach aboard Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, S.C., July 15, 2025, following four months of rehabilitation at the Avian Conservation Center. After a storm in March 2025, Elliott, a nestling at the time, was spotted on the ground and relocated to the Avian Conservation Center, where its growth and mentation was closely monitored. Elliott spent a brief period with an adult great horned owl to ensure there was no imprinting on humans, along with learning proper behaviors. After it was old enough, Elliott was moved to a larger enclosure outside to test flight capabilities and catching live prey. Once these tests were passed, Elliott was deemed ready for release.
