Yesterday morning vs Yesterday's morning

Both "yesterday morning" and "yesterday's morning" are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "Yesterday morning" is the more common and natural way to refer to the morning of the day before today. On the other hand, "yesterday's morning" is less common and might sound a bit awkward, but it could be used in specific contexts where you want to emphasize possession or belonging.
