Uehlfeld is considered the stork stronghold in Bavaria. In 2020, 35[5] pairs of storks nested on the commune's roofs. Interesting facts about the white stork are given on display boards along the seven-kilometre-long stork nature trail that runs through the village.[6]

Danger! Storks flying low!, is written on warning signs at the entrance to Uehlfeld, which Uehlfeld's mayor Werner Stöcker had put up. He explains: The young storks in particular need a certain amount of sailing distance during their first flight exercises before they can get up again. And there they slide along the main street with us. And when asked how many pairs of storks are breeding this year, he suspects: This year (2021) we will probably crack 40. The storks are already building new nests again.[5]

This raises the question of whether Rühstädt in Brandenburg, which was awarded the title of European Stork Village by the European Natural Heritage Foundation in 1996, is actually still the village with the most storks in Germany.

In 2022, the municipality of Uehlfeld reported a nationwide record with 49 couples
