First, I want to give credit to the awesome people before me who made lists of spawn locations and especially those who posted screenshots. World of Punks site has a list of most of these with screenshots so if you are having a hard time finding them that can be an invaluable referance.
For a general overview of the mount and how to get it any of these sites will work. I tried to combine all of these lists and make a route so that I could avoid checking the same spot multiple times and skipping others. Since the locations are reported by others, I can’t swear to their accuracy, I have probably only seen 20-25 of these spots myself. Also the route isn’t perfect. I started this long before I could fly, which means some backtracking is necessary to follow the landscape. I chose to leave it that way so that it can still be done by non flyers. I have personally assisted in acquiring 3 so far and hope to eventually help all my friends and family acquire one of these beauties.

Handynotes_Ephemeral Crystals addon (the three reasons I didn’t just stick with the addon are basically 1)Not easy to hide (check off) as you go to each location to avoid duplicating, 2)doesn’t provide a route and 3)it had about half as many crystals as the other sources, still, it lists some that were not listed elsewhere.)

N Your Goal|ITEM|138258|N|You are searching for 5 ephemeral crystals somewhere in Azsuna. There are over 100 possible locations. When you find the fifth one, you get the mount and a zonewide message, “You hear a faint caw in the distance and then silence” tells any other treasure hunters it has been found. If you die, you will need to reclick any crystals you previously found. You have eight hours from first to last click, or until someone else clicks 5. For more info, google Forgotten Hippogryph or see comments accompanying this guide on wow-pro.com.|
N Ephemeral Crystals|N|This list is compiled from several internet sources. I have personally verified very few. The coordinates may not be precise, and it is possible there are still some missing. I would assume you can at least see the crystal from that spot.|
N Flying|N|This is of course easier if you can fly, but it is not essential. The routes are laid out assuming you can not fly, (i.e. jump down cliffs, not fly up them), there is probably a more efficient route if you can.|
N Manual Checkoffs|N|After you observe each location you will need to manually right click the step to move on to the next step. We wouldn’t want the guide to advance a step without you noticing and cause you to miss a spot.|
