Narrative:
Descending into modesto on the visual approach, tower called traffic turning final for runway 28R. I looked and found the traffic. A few moments later, the first officer pointed out opposite direction traffic under our nose about 500 ft below us. I saw the traffic immediately but no conflict was imminent nor was evasive action necessary. This traffic was not previously called out for us, (not sure).
