Narrative:

3 miles south of asalt intersection on the RNAV visual 13L at 3000 ft both pilots observed a small drone the size of a street garbage can cover with four vertical engines passes approximately 300 ft directly below our aircraft. We were on a north heading and drone appeared to be traveling south. However with our speed of approximately 220 KTS it may have been traveling in our direction with us overtaking it. The color of the drone was metallic in apprehended with orange colors near its four engines. Possibly the propellers were orange? No evasive action required. ATC notified around 10 seconds after both pilots confirmed our sighting. Upon landing jfk tower gave me a phone number with radar to follow up on the verbal report.
