It seems that those deforested areas under power lines (like the kind that deliver electricity to Massachusetts from the hydropower dams of Quebec) act as "catamount highways". Catamounts (pumas, cougars, mountain lions, panthers, etc.) like to skirt the edges of these forest clearings for deer and other tasty critters, and follow them all the way down to "civilization".
