Narrative:
On left base to a visual approach; to runway 31; we had a near miss with a drone at 3700 feet MSL. I first saw the drone at our left 10 o'clock; and approximately 50 to 100 ft away (hard to tell without knowing the actual size of the thing). It had a white body with blue highlights and black propeller guards. Not sure if it had 4 or 6 props. I immediately notified approach. After landing; ground gave us a phone number to make a report.
