An Atlantic Puffin to Color

This little Atlantic Puffin needs help! She is headed back to her island summer home after a winter at sea feeding on herring. She needs to find her mate and raise her chick during the spring & summer nesting season. BUT... she needs her colors back especially in her bill so the other birds will know that she is really a puffin!
Click the puffin links below to go to the full size copy to print and color. There's a picture of a puffin that I took on Machias Seal Island. Use it to get an idea of the colors that puffins have in their bills during the Spring & Summer. The rest of the puffin is black and white except for their feet which are orange.
KIDS ONLY!
