There is another quest that appears to prevent players from picking up this quest. Said quest is Lost to the Skies, and it can be picked up from Grimla Fizzlecrank in Valdrakken.
Head to the cave where you turn in Lost to the Skies to begin the next quests Flying Rocs and Smash 'Em to Feathereens in the quest chain.

If you can't pickup the quest at Gelkyr Post go to the south (need to fly up, use the tornadoes). Just at the edge of that cliff, close to Gelkyr Post you will find a cave with a gnome and a dracthyr within. You can pickup the quest there. (coords 50.1 70.3)
I found this quest in Gelikyr Post. There's a flight path that marks it on the map - coordinates are 50.54, 67.42.

Description
Did you see that?! This winged creature just fell from the sky! I don't know what sort of being it is, but it certainly isn't native to the Isles. Wait... I do remember a punchy little goblin asking for directions to the Bluefeather Cliffs just above us. You think she would know anything about it?
