Is this my habitat?

No

New England Cottontail
Open grassy area near a brick building

This brushy area would be good habitat for New England cottontails if it was bigger or if there were more patches close by. There isn't enough space for several rabbits to live here. It would be hard for rabbits to survive the long trip across the open area that isn't good habitat.
