The present perfect tense requires use of a non-specific time; this morning, grammatically speaking, is a specific time (as is yesterday, last week, last year, and in 1947), and therefore you must use the present simple tense (I saw her this morning), regardless of what time it is now. However, you could say, "I have seen her since this morning," which creates a non-specific window of time between this morning and now in which she was seen (and yes, you could say this at 10am and it would still be correct).
