Narrative:

On BOUNO4 arrival traveling westbound on track bridgeport (bdr) to alixx intersection; I spotted a small black drone roughly 500 ft directly above us roughly 2 miles east of alixx intersection. It appeared to moving slowly eastbound. I reported it to the new york tracon. They notified the aircraft behind us who was also on the BOUNO4 arrival.
