Where on earth did you hear that? They were never even endangered. For a while they were declining fast enough to be a concern, but never got to the point of being endangered/extinct. I know he was probably talking about an eastern bluebird nest but I see western bluebirds here a lot in the summer, in the right habitats. There's tons of them. They don't show up or start nesting until July though.

I'm really surprised that the snake was even able to eat the babies being how they nest in boxes/cavities and so the parents will usually fight off a snake quite effectively if a snake tries to enter the box.
