TheWoWDBA tip to complete this quest fast. In some hollow trees you might notice Harpy Eggs. They can be destroyed to complete the quest. However, the despawn is rather delayed, so you can spawn click the same destroyed egg before it disappears! I completed this quest under 1 minute by doing so!
Beware of Gornoth the Lost though. He is the Fel Reaver of the Witchwood.

This quest doesn't seem to pop for me when I go to this area. But it shows as incomplete when using Wholly addon so not sure its a game bug or addon bug... anyone have an idea?
It appears that at this time, one week after launch, that this is a bugged bonus objective. You get the notice that you're in a bonus objective area, and it WILL complete; it just won't show a tracking bar with percentage of completion, nor will it, when you kill something, show or say how close you are to completion. Just kill the harpies and the bears until you get that completion sound and the notification on your screen.
