The story never gives a specific geographical place, but it is probably in North Carolina. The narrator makes a reference to being sent to "Dix Hill" for being thought crazy. One theory about the setting is that this reference is to the Dorothea Dix Hospital near Raleigh North Carolina which was an institution for people with mental illnesses. Another hint is that it has to be some distance away from Florida, because the ibis in the story dies from over exertion after fling in a storm. The natural habitat of the ibis is South America to Florida, so the bird had quite a long flight.
