Narrative:
At approx. 1000'agl; my first officer said he had seen what looked like a drone go by. I do not know how close or whether above or below - I was capt. And PF. I asked him to report it to the tower and he did. Upon landing; ATC requested that we call them with a number provided. My first officer asked if I wanted to call and said it would be better if he did so directly since I did not see the drone. No other actions taken.
