Had a bunch of HB images that showed light streaks usually by the wings. Using a flash.

Any ideas on what caused them.

Maybe loose feathers.

They are just specular highlights. The light is bouncing off of something (feathers?) like a mirror. Many feathers on hummingbirds are very reflective. I suggest you don't use flash on them.
