Why yes, I *have* been playing this game too much.
So, first, the tool: The Skyrim Alchemy Helper
Stick in any ingredient, and it will pop out every recipe that ingredient can be used in, with which other ingredients. Sorted by *number of effects*, so you can pick for maximum awesome (also money and Alchemy training) or just so you can look through for, say, "fortify Health and give health" or "Fortify Archery And Sneak" or whatever it is you want.
Second, the stupid question: Hawks.
Hawk feathers are an alchemy ingredient.
Hawk beaks are an alchemy ingredient.
There are hawks. I have seen them flying around.
PRESUMABLY one can get these ingredients by killing the hawks, but HOW DO YOU DO IT? They're too small, far away, and fast to hit with a bow or a spell. I've tried tossing around Rabbit Chunks to see if they'll come down, I've tried chasing rabbits out into the open while the hawks are circling, I've even tried bouncing around like a bunny hoping they'll have some kind of size perception snafu and come attack me. Nothing - they don't react.
How does one hunt hawks?
