The Blue Mockingbird (Melanotis caerulescens) is a species of bird in the Mimidae family. It is endemic to Mexico, but has occurred as a vagrant in the southern United States. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist montanes, and heavily degraded former forest.
The Blue Mockingbird is uniformly blue on its back, tail, wings, head and underbelly. This color is a result of feather structure rather than pigment, and therefore can look gray in the shade. It has a black "mask" surrounding its reddish-brown eyes. It has a rather long, slightly graduated tail, and dark blue streaks over its breast. Its bill is long, thin and slightly curved, and its legs and feet are black.
I think that the surroundings of Maycomb would probably have a small forest, no lake or water body but a large open space.
I think the mockingbirds live in Maycomb because they are native to Maycomb, I also suspect that they are blue mockingbirds as blue mockingbirds are native to southern states and Maycomb, though fictional, was stated to be in Alabama, which is in the south of the United States.
