ok lets end all the confusion here.  this is the raptor quest, 1st one, NOT lashtail raptors.  Look on your map, see where the bridge crosses over the river?  draw an almost straight line west from that point (ending up just south of and to the west of Zul'Kunda)  thats where the stranglethorn raptors are.  Very important, be sure to complete the first tiger and panther quests and accept the 2nd ones b4 u go as you'll travel rite thru both of these mobs to get to the raptors.
