Many bird species are undergoing rapid range shifts in response to habitat change, climate change, and anthropogenic factors. Although ranges shift, these shifts may not be accurately reflected in static range maps, particularly if range maps are not updated regularly. We observed a White-fronted Bee-eater (Merops bullockoides) while bird-ing in the Western Cape province of South Africa, an area not cur-rently covered by this species’ known range. However, after investi-gating some other recent reports on the popular citizen science plat-form eBird, and comparing to changes in occurrence of this species from the Southern Africa Bird Atlas Projects, we suspect that this spe-cies is undergoing a range shift into the Western and Eastern Cape Provinces of South Africa. We illustrate this potential range shift with evidence from these citizen science platforms as well as from the lit-erature. We conclude with a recommendation for conservation man-agers to adapt dynamic range maps for use in conservation deci-sions.
