The members of a population may be small or hard to find. Indirect observation is when it would be easier to observe what the animals left behind, like a nest or tracks, rather than the organism themselves. Ex: If there are 120 nests in an area, you can find the number of swallows by multiplying 120 by , or 480 swallows.

What is the difference between indirect and direct observations?
Direct observation is an instance in which you use one of your senses: sight, smell, taste, touch, hearing, to experience an event that happened in your presence. An indirect observation is basically the opposite of a direct observation in that you observe something after it has happened. Example of a direct observation would be seeing a burning fire, feeling its warmth and smelling the fumes. Or perhaps your eyes get watery from the smoke. The indirect observation would be coming upon an empty campsite and seeing the burnt logs and ashes.
Definition of direct observation?
Direct observation means looking at it with your own two eyes, feeling it with your fingers (or other body parts), directly hearing it with your ears or directly tasting it with your tongue. Indirect observation means not sensing the object of observation directly but by observing the effects it has on its surroundings. An example of indirect observation might be seeing footprints in the snow and using this as evidence that snow leopards are in the area. Direct observation would be seeing the leopard itself.
What does direct observation mean?
An indirect observation is a research technique making use of pre-recorded behaviors. This involves things like statistics tables of reactions of materials, or other such records.
