A good way to do this is to run around the field spamming this macro.

/tar [nodead] Fjord Hawk
/use Trained Rock Falcon
/cleartarget

EDIT: Thank you bigdelite for the [nodead] addition.

It will auto target the hawks flying above and cast if you are in range.

In the surrounding area are many hawks that you can target and use the falcon on. Each attack will cost you one grub, that you can find under the rocks. The hawks seem to travel in two's, when you capture one, you aggro another. However, even after the cooldown expires, you may not summon the falcon again if you are in combat. It's best to just run away so you can still capture the hawk later. Also, if there's another person on the quest, in your party or not, they can stay out of combat and capture the second hawk.

You can find the hawks flying around or resting on rocks and other objects. Have your falcon quest item ready and you can capture even the quickly flying hawks.

Description

Do you feel the closeness, {name}? Surely you feel a true bond forming between you and your falcon. Would you believe me if I told you that when the time is right you'll be able to see through the eyes of your bird? Aye, it is the ultimate level of falconry. But first you must hunt more! The bird must hone and quicken its reflexes. Send it against a more formidable opponent! The fjord hawks of the region make the tops of the trees around us their homes. They shall be your next target!
