Narrative:

At approximately 1;500 AGL the jump seat occupant saw a drone in close proximity to our aircraft. During the resulting reporting to tower I failed to call for final configuration prior to 1;000 feet. I didn't realize we were below 1;000 feet until after being fully configured by approximately 900 feet. I believe I missed the 1;000 feet call due to the multiple 'back and forths' with tower. Stabilized by 500 we continued for landing. As the pilot flying I need to insulate myself from other duties and concentrate on flying.
