Make sure you are facing them when freeing them. For some reason you get the old "you must be facing the target" error if you don't.

Description
High Crawliac has taught her witches how to curse our beloved eagles into the vile rocs you see assaulting the valley. There is no way to break this curse once it has taken hold. We will take to the skies and do battle with the rocs, but we need your help on the ground. Head north through Darkfeather Valley and release any eagles that you find. Every eagle you save is one less roc we must kill later.

Thank you. I couldn't figure out how to turn in the quest. (to the north of the eagles themselves) No idea why I couldn't figure it out.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Nursing the Wounds
I know why Mayla sent you. But as you have seen, the drogbar are not the only threat to Highmountain. I will not send forces to support until we deal with the minions of High Crawliac. If you want to help, find my shaman. He was supposed to be dispersing these fires that are ravaging my village.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Three
When High Crawliac seized control of the harpies she placed 3 powerful and deadly witches in charge of the covens under her command. These witches must die. Feel up for the challenge? Head into the Haglands behind me and find these three evil creatures.
