Narrative:
While on visual approach to runway 13L in dal spotted a uav inside class B airspace off our left wing. We contacted ATC and gave a visual description as well as location of the uav. Was detected visually from left cockpit. Uav operating near approach path in dal airspace. Notified ATC facility and gave description and location. As uav operations become more common it is important to be vigilant of all types of aircraft; even in areas where they should not be.
