In 2004, Gallagher reported sighting an ivory-billed woodpicker in the Big Woods of Arkansas; however, a subsequent expedition led by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology was unable to confirm his sighting. Gallagher's book about the experience, The Grail Bird: Hot on the Trail of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker (ISBN 0-618-45693-7), was published in May 2005.

Gallagher was born in England and received a B.A. in magazine journalism, and an M.F.A. in English, both from California State University, Long Beach.
