I just listened to this May 2005 "Science Friday" interview with Tim Gallagher (it's about 16 minutes in length). In this interview, Gallagher says some pretty remarkable things.
For example, regarding the fleeting "Ivory-bill" glimpse that he shared with Bobby Harrison in February '04, Gallagher says "you couldn't have a better sighting".
He also refers to the Luneau video as "that wonderful video...it's blurry, but it's got all the fieldmarks of the ivorybill".

I just had a great idea about how Fitz et al. can explain this one away.
It turns out that Tim Gallagher is just an academic ornithologist and writer who lives in Ithaca, NY ... but HIS EVIL TWIN BROTHER
... is a birder who lives in Arkansas and has been in and out of trouble with the law for years.
It isn't such a far fetched idea ... we don't need a good photo of the EVIL TWIN either ... all we'll need to buy this theory is a blurry video from a security camera in wal-mart.
Tim's twin Gwynn may live, but let's not spread a rumor that either Gallagher is an ornithologist. Wildlife photographer and editor-in-chief for Living Bird is all I've heard.
I enjoyed the part where Ira Flatow said "Welcome to Science Friday, Doctor Gallagher!", and Gallagher didn't correct him.
