The meaning is almost the same but usually you would say
en la mañana
in the following way: Let's meet in the morning-
Vamos a encontrarnos en la mañana.(if it's a set thing on a specific day)
You would use
por la mañana more commonly in this context:
At this time of the year the birds start to sing in the morning/
En este
parte del año los pájaros empiezan a cantar por las mañana
Por las tardes tomamos café in la cafeteria.
En la tarde vamos a tomar café en la cafeteria
This should be confirmed by native Spanish speakers.
