About Our Cover Artist:
J udy S herman
Aroostook County Artist, Judy Sherman, was raised and still lives in OxBow,
Maine. OxBow is a little plantation with approximately 68 residents. The beauty
of this little place is astounding, the wild animals, wildflowers, birds, and fantastic
sunsets. It is more than any photographer/artist needs for a canvas. She was
“always a doodler” but with the urging of her husband took art lessons from
a local artist in 1988 and has been painting ever since. She is best known for
her oil paintings of birds and animals, but also does acrylic paintings of houses,
seascapes, landscapes, still life, florals, and wildlife. A lot of her work is done on a
commission basis.
Judy has received many awards for her work over the years. She has donated
pieces of her artwork to the Ashland and Presque Isle Rotary Clubs for their
auctions along with the MPBN Great TV Auction. She teaches acrylic medium
adult education at the Ashland Community High School.
Since 1999 Judy has owned and operated OxBow Wreaths & Deep In The
Woods Gift Shop in OxBow with consignment items from over 75 artisans and
craftsmen in the State of Maine.

On an average day of birding, Bill observes the comings and
goings of birds at Christina Reservoir and Lake Josephine –
the Redhead Duck, Northern Shoveler and American Wigeon
– with just as much enthusiasm, but this was admittedly a
standout birding moment.
Eighty or so people in Aroostook County currently
subscribe to Bill Sheehan’s electronic newsletter, with a link
to his Northern Maine Birding blog:
http://northernmainebirds.blogspot.com/ He welcomes the
contributions of photos and sightings from area birders, and
is always looking for additional volunteers for the Christmas
Bird Count. For more information about the 110th Christmas
