Co.) but there are some Purple Martins nesting just behind Behnke's Nursery on Rt. 1 in Beltsville, one block west of Rt. 1. They are in one of those fake-gourd arrangements, sharing space with House Sparrows. Martins being a bit thin on the ground in such an urban setting, I thought it might be of interest.
