Angeltrudelle, I'm glad your ducks were okay - I would've been so mad! The false panic would've affected me all day, so I wouldn't have appreciated the joke!
One year my husband, who gets up 30 minutes before me, woke me up saying, "Quick, come look out the kitchen window. There's a black bear in the yard!" I stumbled out to the kitchen in my T-shirt, and he let me look out the window for several minutes, scanning the yard, before he finally said "April Fool!" I fell for it because one morning there were two mallard ducks in our oak tree out there -- they were sitting on limbs high in the tree, and no ponds or streams around that I know of -- so a bear didn't seem all that unreasonable!
