TheWoWDBFollow the road east to a lift. Next to it, you'll see a structure that has a tooltip that identifies it as a roost. Use your falcon quest item (no grub required) and you will take control of him. You have 3 abilities:
- Scavenge - which lets you loot an egg
- Swoop - which gives you a 300% speed boost for a few seconds - 20s CD
- Escape - which stuns a matriarch so you can escape
Just fly around and when you see an egg, fly to it and click scavenge. You can use swoop to get there faster to beat any patrolling matriarchs or competing players. I didn't have any problems avoiding the patrolling birds. When I was done, I intentionally aggro'd a matriarch to try out Escape, then flew back to my player. It brought the matriarch and when I right-clicked the pet buff, my bird disappeared and the matriarch aggro'd me. It was like a normal mob and dropped grey stuff.

The exact location of the roost is at 76.7,67.7. You get close to it and use [Trained Rock Falcon] to
take control over a Falcon (acts like a vehivcle).Once you take control over the Falcon, you are given 3 abilities (only usable on the quest involved Hawks):
- Scavenge - Steal eggs. You need to be close by the egg and use this ability. Make sure you got inventory space!
- Soar - A small (300%) speed boost for 4 seconds.
- Escape - A disorient effect, lasts for 6 seconds on the target. Meanwhile, Soar away!
You basically roam around along the mountain wall and steal eggs using Scavenge! If you get in trouble you can get
away by using the Escape ability on the mob that is after you. The Soar can help go from one egg to the other much
faster or just to get away more easier.Here is a screenshot over the roost and the location of the eggs (if you are confused).
It is a really easy quest and not bad for a ending of the chain, neat rewards too. :)
If your hawk dies for whatever reason, that's fine. Just release it again, as many times as you need to.
P.S. Is anyone else disappointed that you don't get to keep the Hawk as a pet?

Description
You are most definitely ready for the next step in falconry, {name}. Take your trained falcon east of here, to the vrykul hawk roost near the Stonewall Lift. From the roost you will send out your falcon to steal the eggs of the hawks. Their nests will be located in remote areas of the cliff walls surrounding the roost. Locate those nests and use your falcon to scavenge for the eggs! Beware the fjord hawk matriarchs, {name}. Should you come under attack, use your falcon's escape and soar abilities to flee!
