Naturalist: Mockingbird's habitat

The mockingbird's habitat is in open country with thickets, farmland and desert brush. They live in places ranging from the Canadian border down through South America. I think that the mocking birds live in Maycomb due to the fact that it is very similar to their natural habitat. Mocking bird do not like people to desturb their nests and Maycomb is no densely populated. This explains why mockingbirds would want to live in Maycomb. Maycomb is a argicultural country, thus there is a lot of farmland, which is similar to their natural habitat. Some animals that can live in Maycomb would be the racoon and squirrel. They can live in Maycomb as Maycomb has a lot of trees and there is a lot of plants for the animals to feed on. Maycomb is not a urbanized country and thus almost any type of small animal can be found there. I think most, if not all tropical plants could be found in Maycomb. This is because the Maycomb is an agricultural country and is not very developed and urbanised yet. This also means that Maycomb has thick dense forests. Maycomb receives alot of sunshine throughtout the year, this will enable more types of plants to survive. Maycomb also has alot of water due to the amount of rainfall they receive. So, most tropical plants will survive in Maycomb.

  1. I think that Maycomb is a place where there are no thick dense forests. On the contrary, I think that Maycomb is somewhat like some parts of Australia, where there are not much forests, but contain more desert brushes (and lots of sand). I also think that Maycomb do not receive much rainfall, and this led to the decrease in the amount of vegetation in Maycomb.

    However, I agree with you a one point, that Maycomb is a mainly agricultural county.
