Thirteen line ground squirrel by Bill Dolak
Scientific American shares that every calendar year has at least one month with a Friday the 13th, but no year has more than three. If you’re the superstitious type, buckle up because 2026 has three: February, March and November!
Bill took this photo way back on May 14 of 2014 which was a Wednesday. You can see more in Bill’s massive Kalamazoo, Michigan gallery on Flickr & follow Bill’s Pictures on Facebook for his latest!

Sorry to hear we will hit the trifecta for Friday the 13ths!
Might as well get them out of the way – this year seems like the perfect one to dump extra Friday the 13th in 😅
