4th of June 2022 , I have spotted two eggs in a crow nest nearby.  nest is about 1.5 ft across and 8-10 in deep.
Usually egg laying process of crows is about 6 days, so I will show you progress of eggs every day.

Next day four eggs was spotted in the nest, see the eggs clearly.

Actually find nests, is one of the most rewarding moments an urban naturalist or crow enthusiast can have.  Be warned though: crows are wary of potential predators. spying on them and they have a few tricks for throwing you off, so don’t be surprised if a nest location you were certain of turns out to have been a ruse!
Very next day I have spotted five eggs in th nest, and crows were always surrounding the nest. 

Now today 10th of june 2022 , I have spotted six eggs, and technically the egg lying process is over.





The calls of the Indian Jungle Crow are not unlike that of the House Crow but are harsher.
The Indian Jungle Crow (Corvus culminatus) is a an all-black species of crow found in the plains of India where it is very common and readily distinguished from the House Crow which has a grey neck. Often grouped along with other crow species in the region, it differs in its voice from the Large-billed Crow found in the higher elevations of the Himalayas and the Eastern Jungle Crow (Corvus levaillantii) overlaps in the eastern part of its range.This glossy all-black crow has a heavy black bill with an arching culmen (upper edge of the mandible) and has a fine tip. The feathers have a purple gloss throughout. The tail of the Indian Jungle Crow is rounded and the legs and feet are stout. 
The classification of the Asian crows has been in a state of confusion. This species was described as Corvus culminatus by Colonel W. H Sykes based on a specimen from Pune. Eugene Oates considered this as a single species Corvus macrorhynchos in The Fauna of British India, Including Ceylon and Burma. (1889), based on what had been concluded by Allan Octavian Hume based on the inability to see consistent differences in the specimens.The Indian Jungle Crow is found across mainland India south of the foothills of the Himalayas, east of the desert regions of northwestern India and having an eastern limit around Bengal. It is also found in Sri Lanka.
The Indian Jungle Crow is resident throughout its range. It is usually seen singly, in pairs or small groups. It is an opportunist and generalist omnivore. They have a range of cawing vocalization. It sometimes flies with a heavy minimal movement of the wings and cawing hoarsely and will sometimes call with the throat puffed accompanied by bowing movements of the head and tail dipping. The behavioural significance of various calls and postures is unknown.
