TheWoWDBMy suggestion: don't bother trying to focus on swoops, just look for them as you're doing various other quests, and it will finish on its own. This isn't a chain so there's no hurry.

Kill wiry swoops around 36,55 best spot to find them.
Even though he says they are found all over Mulgore, don't expect to find any around Camp Narache and the Red Cloud Mesa, this is really the only place you won't find them.

Description
The swoop is a cunning bird, and difficult to find and hunt. A collection of Swoop Quills is a badge of cleverness and determination for a hunter. If you are willing to take up this task, then enter the plains and hunt the swoop. Bring me their quills, and bring honor to your clan. The swoops may be found anywhere in Mulgore, but your eyes must be sharp to spot them, and your hooves must be quick to catch them.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Dangers of the Windfury
Thank you for taking the time to speak to me, <name>. I am Ruul, warrior and teacher. You have obviously reached an age when you must prepare for your trials if you are to adventure much further out of Mulgore.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Mazzranache
My grandfather told me stories about his battles with a strider named Mazzranache. He told me of its demonic red eyes, razor-sharp talons and venomous bite. As fortune would have it, while traveling across the plains, I encountered it, and it took a nasty bite from my shoulder.
