High-diving seabirds known as blue-footed boobies have suddenly expanded their range.

The Arizona Daily Star says a blue-footed booby appeared at Patagonia Lake State Park last month in the first documented sighting of the species in southeast Arizona .

Normally, the birds are found in California but no further north than the Salton Sea . Lately though, the birds have been seen as far north as the San Francisco Bay Area.
